Can you imagine the song if he'd written it?

I'm a lumberjack - technically a professional feller of trees and wood management specialist, capable of distinguishing between innumerable species of tree and recommending optimal points in the life cycle to apply appropriate arborial interventions to maximise the yield and minimise concomitant overhead.

And, I'm OK - not awful, terrible, dreadful; but also not brilliant, marvellous, fantastic, wonderful or fabulous.

I sleep all night - which can be an issue due to the changing lengths of dark-time throughout the year thanks to the earth's orbit around its star; appropriate management of sleep cycles, ensuring adequate time spent in each of the phases of sleep, allowing my memories to consolidate, my muscles to rest, my organs generally to recoup their energy and prepare for another hard day's lumberjacking.

And I work all day - which again is obviously of variable length, unless the weather is entirely inappropriate or inclement; and of course sometimes I'm not actually working but am voiding my body of waste products or consuming sufficient calories both to support my basal metabolic function and to enable me to cut trees down, which is a significantly taxing physical activity.
